Out of little acorns...
We love when past pupils drop in to visit us here in Cappataggle N.S. We were delighted to see that our strong traditions in Green Schools have been carried on to secondary school by this Green Schools Committee Member! Students are pictured at our recent Book Fair in our school Library.
Book early to avoid disappointment...
It's a bugs life as all sorts of insects are taking up residence in our brand new 'Bug Hotel'. Mrs O' Brien and the Green Schools Committee have been working very hard in the last few weeks to get the bug hotel up and running before the winter sets in. Amenities include swimming pool, log pile, turf gym and lots more....
Fruit and Vegetables fresh from the school garden....
Mrs O' Brien and the Green Schools Committee have been very busy in the school vegetable patch. See below the fruits of their labour.
Gardening & Bee Keeping at Cappataggle N.S.
During the month of October we had a visit from Pat Lenihan who gave all classes a wonderful talk on vegetable growing in Ireland. Pat spoke about everything from peas to pumpkins and explained that with the right care and attention we can grow any vegetables in Ireland. He then went on to talk to the children about bee keeping and showed them a working bee hive full of honey combs and explained the process of extracting honey from the combs. It was a very informative and interesting talk with the children asking lots of questions. We are very grateful to Pat for giving of his time so generously.
